II. 8. JEFFERYS.
THE CYCLONE EXTINGUISHER.

TIRzAH, S. c., March 10, 1887.
MEssRs. JEFFERYs & HoKE, Gents:
THE Cyclone Spark Extinguisher puton my
engine a few months ago is giving entire
satisfaction. Before it was put on, my GIN
house several times caught fire from SPARKS, SO
I had to quit running while the wind was blow
ing in the direction of the Clubhouse. Now 1
can gin and saw with perfect safety, no matter
way the wind blows. Haven'tseen a live
spark from the engine since I have been usingl 1t.
And another goodthing about it is, it cant wear
or burn out. Will last as long as the engine. I
think it a great invention, and wouldn't take
double the cost of mine if it was so I couldn't
get another one. I think you ought to reduce
the present high rate reinsurance on gin-houses
where these e~xtinguishers are used on the en-
pines. or. at least, recommend such to the COM
ppanies you represent, because I see no risk
Whatever from the engine.
Very respectfully, ,es,,v

FATHER RYAN.


In the hush of the valley Of silence
dreamed all the songs that sing,
And the music floats down the dim valley,
Till each finds WORD for wing.
That to hearts like the dove OF the deluge,
message of peace they may bring.
But far on the deep there are pillows
That never shall break on the beach, !
And I have heard songs In the silence
That never shall float into speech,
And have had dreams in the valley
Too lofty for language to speak.
And + have seen thoughts in the valley
Ah!sme, how my spirit was stirred
And they wear holy wells on their faces
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard.
They pass through the valley like virgins,
Toopure for the touch Of the word
Do You ask me the place Of the valley,
We hearts that are narrowed by care?
It lieth far between mountain,
And God and His angels are there;
One is the dark mountain Of sorrow,
And one he bright mountain of prayer.

examination of our criminal law and pro-
cedure. My purpose so far has been to
show how vitality important it is to be ex-
ceedingly careful and painstaking in the
inquisition by %coroners, and how careless
ness in this, the first step in the prosecu-
ton, often contributes to the escape of the
guilty.
In my next number I will discuss the
subject of arrest and bail, and, perhaps,
begin with the trial and its incidents.

CIvILIZING SENEGAMBIA.-The French
are trying a plausible scheme for rapidly
spreading civilization throughout their
great domains in Senegambia. They ar
que that the quickest way to subdue the
country will be to educate the children of
the chiefs. These children will some day
be persons of much influence, and the
French argue that if they can train their
minds and Undue them with right notions
of progress ntheir youth, they will in the
future, be splendid missionaries OF civil,
zation. They have, therefore, established
chools in the most important towns from
the ocean for a distance of 600 or 700 miles
inland, in which the children of the chiefs
are receiving instruction at the expense of
the French government. Col: Gallieni,
who has organized these schools, says he
thinks they will prove the most powerful
means of extending French influence.

BACKING THE Poor MAN.-Many years
ago a man named Miller, living in Blod:
get, Missouri, purchased large plats OF Ian
from the Iron Mountain railroad company,
which he occupied without molestation for
a long period. The railroad people have
e%ndeavored by various methods to ria
themselves of Miller, who was finally in
duced to write to President Cleveland.
An answer was received advising Miller
to retain possession of his land at all haz,
ards, stating further that by reason of the
failure of the railroad company to fulfill
certain contracts with the government,
they had forfeited all right and title to
the lands, and that the entire tracts in
possession of the company were subject to
registration and occupation by bona fde
settlers. The news spread like prairie fire,
and settlers are rushing into southwestern
Missouri and squatting on the finest lands
in the State.

+ MEDICAL HUMoR,--The celebrated
French physician, Ricord, was one day
walking along the Boulevard in Paris
when he met an old gentleman who was
very rich, but who was at the same time
noted for his extreme stinglness; Inc ola
man. who was somewhat of a hypochon-
driac, imagined that he could get some
medical advice from Ricord, without pay
ing fer it..
hDoctor, I am feeling very poorly"
"Where do you suffer most"'
"In my stomach, DOCTOR"
e"Ah! that's bad. Please shut your eyes.
That's right. Now put out your tongue,
so I can examine it closely"
The invalid did as he was told. After
he had waited patiently for about ten min
utes, he opened his eyes and found him;
self surrounded by a crowd who supposed
that he was crazy. DR.. Ricord! in the
meantime, had disappeared.-SJtin0s.

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH HOME LIFE
In the farm, social and home life is where
YOU will find the Pennsylvania Dutch in
all their glory; and it would be only he
who can never be warm again, like "Har-
nv Gill" in the old poem, whose heart
would not glow at q bit of his life being
passed under the influence of the plain
ness, but radiant %cleanness and bounty OF
these people,. In the first place a poor
Pennsylvania Dutchman is rarely found,
and a poor Pennsylvania Dutch farmer
never. Young or old, he lives like a rural
monarch in a kingdom of hard won but
never ending plenty. He does not want
book or newspaper knowledge, for he
fears the effect of laziness and airiness
Upon his children. The latter go a month
or two in the winter to the cross road or
village school, where they speak English
indiferently, but they always speak their
mother tongue at home, and if you are an
American and have acquired that, you
need no other sesame to the hearts, larders
or pockets of these people.
They are the best farmers on earth with
out qualification /; their barns are wonder
full structures in capacity and arrange
ment; their homes are shining nests in
bowers of fruit and bloom their grains,
vegetables, butter and fowls are the finest
that come to market their animals are
the sleekest and plumpest to be found, and
while. thrift's hard hand ever presses upon
daily fact and act, there is no other place
in this land where the table and the board
of virtuous cheer so stagger under the
toothsome fruits of goodly toll.

ONE LIVED, THE OTHER DIED.

A woman formerly our slave Is now our cook.
About eighteen months ago she became sickly and
had q cough and was confined 10 bed, and it was
thought that she had consumption. The treatment
by physicians failed to give relief. In December,
1884, a node or knot the size Of n goose egg formed
just above the pit of the stomach, which when lanced
discharged matter for 8 or 9 months. One of these
also formed under her arm, and three on her back,
which discharged matter for a considerable time.
For six months of this time she was confined to the
house and most Of tibet line In bed. The stomach often
, refused food, by rejecting what she had eaten. She
used a great deal Of medicine, but failed to be cured.
| bought one bottle of your B. B. B. (made In Atlanta,
Ga.) and gave 1t to her and she commenced TO i'm
prove. l then bought and give 10 her three bottles
more, and she continued to improve and In twomonths'
time her cough had ceased, her constitution strength
ened, appetite and digestion good, oil discharges
ceased, nodes or knots disappeared and she went to
work apparently healthy and fattened up greatly.
This woman had q n arried sister of near same age
who was affected In precisely the same way and about
the same time. She had node or knot on pit OF stom-
ach, back, etc. She did not take any BIB. b. and the
node on her stomach ate through to the cavity. She
continued to decline and wasted away, and hnally
died.
These were two terrible cases of blood poison-onee
used B. B. B. and was speedily ured-the other ala
not use 1t and died. 1t is most assuredly a wonderful
blood purifier. I refer to merchants in this town.
Yours truly, W.T..
